While patients with diabetes may feel let down and disappointed there are some reasons for hope for lower priced modern analog insulins.
1) @CivicaRx a non profit drug manufacturer is working to manufacture insulin.

2) California announced it will manufacture insulin. @reoxoo cnbc.com/amp/2022/07/08…
3) The US plan to keep insulin price to $35 for Medicare beneficiaries is still intact. It is part of the historic healthcare reforms passed yesterday.

4) I am hopeful @costplusdrugs acquires insulin to add to its portfolio of over 700 drugs that it offers at very low prices. @mcuban
5) If Medicare is paying $35 I think it will be hard for insurers, PBMs, manufacturers whoever to charge $300 to patients on private insurance or lack insurance. So eventually patients on private insurance will also benefit.
6) Several states have enacted laws to lower the cost of insulin and to provide emergency insulin. @NSmithholt12
7) Manufacturers are providing analog insulins at low cost. This is welcome and hope it continues.
8) Biosimilars are available. And there is hope for more.
